Prepping the 1945 John Deere B for the tractor show

[cjet69]

Not much time to get a tractor ready for the local show so I thought I would take the 1945 John Deere B hand start. While tedding hay this year I had a sidewall failure in one front tire which I changed to finish the hay. Yesterday I swapped out the other front tire and the pressure washed a layer of dirt and cow dung off of it. I think its ready to go. Think I will clean up the truck and trailer today.

You gotta luv the sound of a JD 2 banger under load. Nothing else like it.

Getting some rain today but the report for the show shows mostly sunny with temps going from mid 70's to around 80. Sounds like they have invited a car club in on one of the days. Maybe Cvans will bring June Bug. My brothers grandson is getting our Farmall H ready for the show also.

That my friend would be a long drive at 45 mph. Your weather sounds like it's going to be perfect for the show. Hope you have a good time.

I was just looking at the old photo's of this tractor when we got it. Dad purchased it in August of 2013 so dad has owned it for 11 years now. Here are some pics of where it sat when dad bought it and one of the tractor that donated the tires and wheels to get it rolling. The serial #'s are only 800 different so they weren't far apart on the assembly line.

Hauled the John Deere B and the Farmall H to the show grounds this afternoon. Got them registered and paid the club dues so we are all set for the start of the show tomorrow.

Tractor rides are the big thing around these parts. Not as many this year due to the heat. Local radio station sponsors one in July ever year but not this year. May try Sept.

Is that JD you did the grill repair on going to be there, CJet? I think you said he was the club president?

He left that one at home this year and parked his tractors where they shouldn't get run into.

And a few more pics. Saturday they had the car show but I didn't get any pics because I left my SD card for the camera in the computer.

I found this video on Youtube from last years show that does a good job showing what the show offers plus some drone footage over the show grounds.

I figured one of you guys could ID this little tractor. It has a Wisconsin engine.

That round front end looks like an Ottawa mule.
Or a Jacques Mighty Mite.
What do I win if I am right?

Bragging rights or Brownie points, Your choice. I couldn't find anything on it that would identify it.
